1 doc

States that as Chairman of the Council of the Teachers' Guild he is commissioned write to her 'to express the very deep sense of the loss sustained by the teaching profession' in Henry Sidgwick's death. Declares that his 'splendid work at Newnham and his guidance of University affairs are conspicuous achievements and widely acknowledged', but that 'the numberless instances of his intellectual and moral stimulus, exercised on all who came in contact with him' are equally great and equally enduring. Refers also to his principles, his moral fervour, his humour, and his devotion to truth. Expresses the deepest sympathy of the Council with Nora in her loss.
